I nave just acquired a Charge Pack M but I am afraid it is a 110V US plug one. US E-Bay acquisition along with Motordrive LX and Power Pack M.
That was my problem... I plugged a 110 one into an ordinary adaptor and fried the charger. That is why I am after a replacement. I'll pass on the various comments here someone more savvy than me for matters electronic and see if I can get something built.

Thanks everyone. K.

Another bump.

Funny they based it on a camera which didn't come with a motordrive. Either a KM or KX motor would have done. Interesting curio though. I wonder how much they want for it?

Interesting development. Ricoh did follow in Pentax's footsteps for a while so I am not surprised that if they want to expand into the SLR market again buying Pentax seems a good idea. I hope they keep the name and the design philosophy going though.

Thanks Bernard, very similar. I was too tired to take a photo last night.

At the bottom of the battery compartment there should be a steel sprung terminal which connects with the negative of the batteries. It is bright and shiny in my LX and easy to see, occupying almost the whole of the bottom of the compartment. Sounds as if you are missing a part.

Gets a reasonable review. If it is going for a good price then snap it up, you could always sell it on. Check for the usual though (i.e., fungus, oil on aperture blades etc.).

The revised version of no 1 is lovely.

Interesting mixture of stuff. Two 50-135s seems excessive though!
